They are giving it a try

[LizStreithorst]

Try it without the buffer and see what happens. If you do it in a pitcher with just eggs on the cone, I don't know if the TDS of the water will matter. All you might loose is the spawn which is what you have lost this time.

I can do this with pure RO I made this specially if this happened. I will replace the cone or use the same on like this.

Hopefully you will see a few wigglers. The male could just be too young. Patience is your friend with discus

Looks good but where's the heater.

[Charlyc11]

It goes in the tank with the pair so they can see them until they hatch.

[LizStreithorst]

Chuck, you are so good at doing stuff! You can't imagine how long it took me to find a 1 gallon pitcher with an open handle.

[Charlyc11]

My other pair spawned on Monday so I took the cone and put it in the container since I wasn't sure they were male/female but I guess they are. So I moved them to their own tank for now.

Looks extremely good Chuck. Those dark spots on the eggs are the eyes.

[Charlyc11]

We will see what happens they are watching the eggs.

Good looking batch of eggs. They look just about to start wiggling.

[Charlyc11]

Yes total surprise for me. The other pair I think they eat the eggs I can't tell from the surveillance camera I will see when I get home later.

[CliffsDiscus]

Looks good, you might want to lower the air. I was looking at the other pair and it showed some bent spinal that can be from too much air and deformities.

[Charlyc11]

I will do that when I get home.

Cliff knows more than anyone about breeding and raising fry. He saved my breeding program.

Liz, I only gave a few suggestions, you did all the work of breeding and raising.
